ADELAIDE will welcome back Rory Laird for its trip to face West Coast but will be without veteran forward Taylor Walker, while North Melbourne and GWS regain stars Tristan Xerri and Toby Greene, respectively, for their crucial clash in Canberra. 

The Crows add Laird, Chris Burgess and Luke Pedlar to the side that beat Hawthorn in round 21, resting Walker and dropping Brayden Cook and Brodie Smith.

West Coast has made three changes, regaining Jack Graham from a four-game suspension for using a homophobic slur, along with ruck Matt Flynn and defender Sandy Brock. Tall defender Harry Edwards and ruck-forward Bailey Williams are among the outs. 

Xerri is one of four inclusions for North, alongside Bailey Scott and debutants Geordie Payne and Cooper Trembath, who completes his meteoric rise from suburban football to the AFL after being selected in the Mid-Season Rookie Draft. 

Suspended forward Paul Curtis and injured spearhead Nick Larkey are among the four players to go out. 

For the Giants, Greene comes back from a one-week suspension while Max Gruzewski replaces sore key forward Jesse Hogan. 

And there is only one change for the BCNA Pink Lady game at the MCG between Melbourne and the unchanged Western Bulldogs, with Demons defender Jed Adams earning a debut at the expense of winger Harry Sharp.
